What do y’all think about China’s socialist core values?
I’ve lived in China now for almost a month, and when walking about you will see many political slogans plastered everywhere including stuff about socialist construction and great rejuvenation. The thing I see the most however is the ‘socialist core values’ which list the following:
富强、民主、文明、和谐
prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony
自由、平等、公正、法治
freedom, equality, justice, the rule of law
爱国、敬业、诚信、友善
patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendship
I always found these a bit weird and I don’t really understand their purpose and I also don’t quite see why they should be plastered everywhere. I have some ideas but I would like to hear all of your guys’ opinions.

In the future, if you want to know more about a certain phrase or topic, and the hand-wavy explanations on the web don't do it for you: You can add 导读, which will guide you through the terms and their meaning, often by giving practical examples. Here is a rather succinct explanation of every social value.
